Cirrus and all. Intel designed the i810e to be a Mainstream platform, intended to be shipped with PIII's as well as Celeron. Coppermine is a PIII. Yes, i820 would be better for the very high end, but strongly suggest that Coppermine's intended target has not changed that much as far as the i810e is concerned. It's very clear that Camino was supposed to replace the current mainstream chipset, the BX. The 810 certainly can't be considered a replacement or successor to the BX, since it is a low-end integrated chipset with no AGP port. The great mystery is how Intel managed to paint themselves into a corner with Camino/Rambus. It wasn't easy - they had to work hard to put themselves in such a bad spot.

PB - RE: "Intel designed the i810e to be a Mainstream platform, intended to be shipped with PIII's as well as Celeron. Coppermine is a PIII." I remember when the news came out that the original i810 wouldn't work w/the PIII and some people (I don't remember everyone) said why should the PIII run on a "low-end" chipset with in integrated video card. "By what I am reading in the press, the K7 motherboard situation may be more dire than Intel's at the moment." This could be the thing that could potentially cause a BIG drop in the stock price after the CC. Last year at this time it was increased R&D spending which did the "job". "Maybe the i820 will come out before AMD infrastructure can support more than 2 major OEM's." Chuck says NEC is also coming aboard. And even CostCo has systems for sale. But these volumes probably still aren't anything enough for Intel to be concerned about. (Makes you wonder why they continue to drop the price of the PIII.)
